+
+ echo bar > foo
+ git-annex add
+ echo '.git/annex/objects/g7/9v/SHA256E-s4--7d865e959b2466918c9863afca942d0fb89d7c9ac0c99bafc3749504ded97730/SHA256E-s4--7d865e959b2466918c9863afca942d0fb89d7c9ac0c99bafc3749504ded97730' > foo
+ git add foo
+ git commit -m foo
+ git reset --hard
+ git status
+ git diff
